It's A Hard-Knock Life

Another arduous day in the life of Lauren Nitti. Snooze until nine, followed by a light breakfast of prawns and beluga caviar. Once properly attired, it's off to Aspen mountain, where an enclosed gondola awaits to shuttle her 2,000 feet skyward in time for her 10 AM yoga session. Must be nice.

Actually, you may want to savor these pictures, as it's pretty likely this will be the most relaxed you see Lauren for a loooong time. My girl starts school tomorrow, so I thought I'd send her off in style with some moutain-top relaxation. Things were going great too, until one of you had to go and call her cell phone -- which she inexplicably left on -- thereby shattering the serentiy of shavasana with the dulcet tones of polyphonic club music. I hope you're happy.

This officially ends the "vacation" portion of our Aspen adventure. Lauren and I have spent the last week cycling through every overpriced tourist trap imaginable. We dined at all the requisite restaurants, visited all the fancy stores, did all the "must see" hikes, watched the free movie at the ski resort, and so on. It's the equivalent of waiting your entire life to move to LBI, then spending the first month you're there playing ski-ball and eating funnel cake.

Namaste,

Tony
